What is the QNAP TS-462A-4G?
The TS-462A-4G is a four-bay tower NAS powered by an Intel(R) Celeron(R) N5095 quad-core processor with 4GB DDR4 memory installed and support for up to 16GB. It includes one 2.5GbE network port, two M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3 x1 slots, hardware-accelerated transcoding and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports.
Simple Setup and Everyday Data Management
Tool-free drive installation, hot-swappable bays and the QTS operating system support straightforward storage management.
The sliding cover design makes it easy to install hard drives without tools. Hot-swappable drive bays simplify maintenance, while QTS provides an accessible interface for backing up, accessing and sharing data.
The TS-462A also includes 16GB of free myQNAPcloud cloud space and supports remote access, synchronization and sharing.
Intel(R) Quad-Core Performance and Upgradable Memory
Designed for smooth daily multitasking across personal, home and small-office storage tasks.
The Intel(R) Celeron(R) N5095 four-core/four-thread processor bursts up to 2.9GHz. The TS-462A-4G includes 4GB SODIMM DDR4 memory and supports up to 16GB across two memory slots.
An AES-NI hardware encryption engine protects file contents, while Intel(R) UHD Graphics supports hardware-accelerated video decoding and transcoding for smoother playback.
